Adele makes light of stage glitch at Grammys

Ten-time Grammy winner Adele laughed off a serious gremlins during her performance of All I Ask at the US music awards.

The 27 year was accompanied by a piano during the song but the audio appeared to have a random guitar sound at one point.

A spokesperson for CBS, where the Grammys aired, said "There was a brief 5-8 second technical issue that was out of our control."

Adele later took to Twitter to explain: "The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune. Shit happens. X."

A TV audience of millions of music fans watched the 58th annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Centre, Los Angeles, California.
